Granny Infinity Square Skull

I love this take on the traditional granny square.  This pattern allows you to replace any and all traditional square items you may make with a fun skull pattern.  Think of all the awesome projects you can create with this adaptable pattern (blankets, parts of blankets, wash cloths, hats, coasters, hot pads, and so on...)

Double Spiral Blanket

This pattern intimidated me at first, but it is really well written and goes together much easier than I expected.  I love the outcome.  Though some of the blocks look a little misshapen, it is due to the drag of the board I have it on.  I had not yet blocked the blanket when the picture was taken.  The pattern was not yet available to the public when this post was written, but you can check out the designer's other patterns available.

I used Caron Simply Soft in four colors.

Brown- 9.92 oz. or about 521 yds.
Cream- 17.18 oz. or about 902 yds.
Orange- 6.48 oz. or about 340 yds.
Yellow- 10.89 oz. or about 571 yds.

It ended up measuring about 50"x60", point to point.

Test Pattern- Children's Skull Hexagon Hoodie

This is another test pattern I created.  Here is a link to the designer's currently available patterns.

This pattern called for as few as two yarns or as many as desired.  I made this in a child's 7/8 for my niece, Esme.  She doesn't know it yet, but I guess she does now.  :)

This pattern calls for an I hook (5.5 mm).  The pattern calls for at least two skeins of ww yarn of at least 364 yards each.  I ended up using yarns I had left over since I used 4 different skeins.

At the time of the picture, I had not yet added buttons.

Eventually Granny Square Blanket

I found this blanket pattern on Ravelry and loved it.  I'm not crazy about the color placement I picked, but I do like the colors together.  I definitely would be open to making another of these blankets and so watch the blog as you may soon spot another one.

There are four colors in all (buff, aran, a dark brown, and a wine color.)  I used worsted weight yarn I had leftover in my bin.  I'm trying to use up more of the yarn I have on hand, but am always open to color suggestions.

I should have blocked the blanket better before posting the picture, but I was just dang excited to show it.

If you're looking for a pattern for a blanket, definitely check out this designer (link above).  She does amazing work with granny squares.  I was never much of a granny square fan, but I love most of her designs and I love the way she has them joined as you go.
